Out Now: The Myth of Good Christian Parenting: How False Promises Betrayed a Generation of Evangelical Families by Marissa Burt & Kelsey McGinnis 

Kelsey Kramer McGinnis & Marissa Franks Burt join Melvin to explore Shiny Happy People season’s 1 and 2. Exploring both the Duggar Family of 19 Kids And Counting and Teen Mania, helmed by Ron Luce, the three discuss everything from why they suspect so many people were drawn to such a challenging series, what’s distinct (and yet oddly similar) between each season’s subject matter, and how they’re processing these large systematic issues.

Melvin Benson is the Founder, Editor-In-Chief, and Lead Host of Cinematic Doctrine. Whether it’s a movie, show, game, comic, or novel, it doesn’t matter. As long as it’s rich, he’s ready and willing to give it a try! His hope is to see King Jesus glorified as far as the east is from the west!
